What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOne of the patients' support needs during hospitalization is visits, which are usually associated with many restrictions for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Implementing as planned online video visits to communicate with the patients and their family may help reduce psychological complications. MATERIALS AND
methodThis study was a randomized clinical trial with two groups from April 2022 to August 2022. Sixty patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups, each with 30 individuals, based on a sequence from SPSS and using sealed envelopes for assignment. Then, in the intervention group, a video call was made in the morning, evening, and night shifts and once in each shift for 10-15 minutes between the patient and the family by the researcher's tablet in the ward and the patient's family's smartphone at home. The demographic information questionnaire and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) were completed before and 48 hours after the patient's hospitalization. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS version 20 utilizing both descriptive and inferential techniques alongside the paired
resultsInitially, no significant differences were noted in anxiety and stress scores between the intervention and control groups. Later, post-test results showed significantly lower mean anxiety scores in the intervention group compared to the control both for anxiety and stress.
conclusionThe researchers advocate for the adoption of virtual visitation as an effective measure to facilitate visual communication between patients and their family members, aiming to enhance patient well-being by alleviating anxiety and stress.
